Microsoft unveils the future

Software giant <A HREF="http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/12/13/innovation.day/index.html">Microsoft unveiled some of its future technology</A> at its fourth annual Innovation Day in Brussels on December 4. And from virtual family organizers to tabletop touch-screens, their vision of the future sees technology move from the traditional desktop computer to become seamlessly integrated in all aspects of our lives.

One key area that's set to change, says Microsoft, is user interface. MD of Microsoft Research, Cambridge, Andrew Herbert told CNN, "Sitting at a keyboard with a screen in front of us is an old-fashioned view of computing. Technology is going to be around us, it's going to be much easier to use."
